Hi Colin
I don't have any metrics on it, but I have seen a situation where a VB app with about 20 forms and about 30-40 controls per form create an EXE that caused all sorts of memory problems.

Also, because there have been a few threads here, that I've taken part in, about running VFP applications over Citrix and one of the biggest concerns was that because VFP's GUI is one big bitmap the whole thing has to come down the pipe with every change rather than just the object that changed.

>>No no no no no, you DON'T want that. Ever see a VB application with a lot of forms and controls? It's a pig, because each control is it's own little Windows object.
